![Tapped into a 3-cm diameter horizontal water pipe is a piezometer and a Pitot tube. The height of the
water columns, as measured from the top surface of the pipe, is measured to be 20 cm in the
piezometer and 35 cm in the Pitot tube. Determine the velocity at the center of the pipe. The flow is
steady, incompressible, and irrotational with negligible frictional effects in the short distance between
the two pressure measurement locations.
